Heroic police dog leaves a paw-erful impression

He deserves a paw-dicure (too much?)

When the call comes in, defenders of justice must act -- that includes Scoobie, a German shepherd police dog.

When Hackney Metropolitan Police Service were called to investigate suspicious noises at a building site, they brought along their trusted canine for assistance.

They sent in Scoobie to scope out the situation before entering the building and discovered that the noise was actually coming from workers.

Hackney MPS tweeted about the call:

Thankfully, there wasn't a threat. Unfortunately, Scoobie ran through freshly laid concrete and left a trail of paw prints in his wake.

Hopefully Scoobie got a thorough cleaning and a much deserved treat for his bravery.
